About Me

Visit www.reverbnation.com/tunnel for more trax.
My name is Mike Czapka. This is a musical entity known as TuNNeL...which might be changing its name soon....possibly to Infinite Engine, or The Elegiac Machines. Currently, I am the sole member of this project. I have been playing guitar and singing for 7 years, piano for 2, and creating electronic pieces for 2. In the rear view mirror, I have been in a few bands such as TimeSlave, Simple Complex, The Noise, Solstice, Neural, Internal Plumbing, Persian War Machines, and the Skin Curtains. Haha. Yaaaaaaaaaa. Some of the songs you'll hear here have been in production for 5 years, some for a day or two. Mostly you'll hear acoustic/electronic music now because currently my recording capabilities allow me to do that well enough. I am always on the lookout for a drummer, however, so if you are interested, or know a friend that might be, contact me. I'm not picky at all but if your style is similar to the great Jimmy Chamberlin (pumpkins, complex), Danny Carrey (tool), or Rick Wright (floyd)....PLEASE CONTACT ME!!! That's all for now.
